Your vacation is here.
Between the gory battle scenes
and nail-biting intrigue of HBOs hit show, Game of Thrones, you might
have notices all the stunning landscapes and wondering, “How do I go to
that place on my next trip?”

Turns out, it’s possible.
Travelers can book tours all around the world that can feed into their Game of Thrones fandom. Two tours on Zicasso are specifically designed for Westeros-obsessed.
One tour in Spain
will take you in the “footsteps of Daenerys Targaryen when walking on
the sands of Itzurun Beach, as she retakes her first steps into the
Seven Kingdoms.” You might not see any dragons along the way, but that
probably won’t stop you from feeling like a Khaleesi.
The tour also covers Castillo de
Almodóvar del RÃo, which is used as the location for House Tyrell’s
home of Highgarden, and Alcázar of Seville, which is used as the Water
Gardens of the Palace of Dorne.
[post_ads]Another tour takes you to the frozen north of Iceland,
where you can literally feel like you’ve ventured north of the Wall. Of
course, you probably won’t run into the Knight King or White Walkers,
but you will see Northern Lights, basalt pillars and living geysers.
But, if you’re really determined to see the whole of Westeros, you can also tour the entire globe by being your own tour guide.
Liligo.com
mapped out an entire round-the-world itinerary to all of the “Game of
Thrones” filming locations, for a total cost of $2,465 (for flights) for
a month-long trip, according to their estimates.
The itinerary includes locations
across the nine countries where “Game of Thrones” has filmed, starting
from New York City. From there, it's on to Iceland, where Jon Snow and
the Knight's Watch had scenes; Northern Ireland, which has a ton of
destinations from the series; Scotland, where fans should head to Doune
Castle; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Seville, Spain; Morocco's UNESCO World
Heritage Site, Ait Ben Haddou; Malta, where the scenes for the Free City
of Pentos in season one were filmed; then on to Los Angeles, where they
filmed the bear attacking Brieene; and finally Calgary, Canada, where
parts of season five were filmed.
A month-long trip around the world doesn’t sound half bad.
